DURANGO, Colo., Dec. 4, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Insight Research projects that the aggregate market for a key group of data services will grow two to three times the rate for basic transport services, representing more than a $160 billion opportunity for carriers over the next five years. With many voice and legacy data services declining, these high growth areas targeted to U.S. businesses include business broadband, IP VPNs, Ethernet, IP applications in the cloud, and hosting services.

In addition to the revenue forecasts for IP-VPNs and Ethernet market segments, unit forecasts are provided for various data port speeds, ranging from 1 Mbits per second to 10 Gbits per second.

“The groups of telecommunications services we’ve identified are fast becoming a growth engine for businesses of all types, and supplying these services to US businesses will give a shot in the arm to telecommunications suppliers,” says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight Research.

“These data applications are strategic in the sense that they are driving exponential traffic growth onto corporate networks and supplying advanced services such as IP applications in the cloud. Ethernet access to these cloud-based applications is the future, and service providers need to make the strategic choice to focus their investments and resources on this growth segment,” Rosenberg concluded.

DURANGO, Colo., Nov. 3, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The $30 billion U.S. private line services market has finally entered a period of no growth, says a market analysis study from Insight Research. Private line had always been a growth market for telcos and has been tracked by Insight for more than 18 years showing steadily increasing revenue growth. Yet the market is expected to decline 2.3 percent over the next five years, as the shift to packet-based Internet services allow customers to get higher bandwidth at lower costs which, in turn, is putting downward pressure on private line revenues.

Private lines are leased point-to-point circuits that are used for a variety of applications, including connecting enterprise locations, backhauling cell towers to mobile switching centers, and providing video services to households and mobile devices. The new study, “Private Line and Wavelength Services, 2014-2019,” provides an in-depth analysis of the four major market drivers that are actually increasing equivalent circuit counts, even as revenues decline.

“We have reached one of those unique periods where demand is rising yet revenues are in decline. Price erosion and the shift to lower unit pricing at higher bandwidth tiers are to blame,” says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight Research.

“This phenomena needs to be understood in the context of a mature market. Mature markets can be very profitable, and can remain viable for years or even decades-but mature markets do not exhibit growth,” Rosenberg concluded.

“Private Line and Wavelength Services, 2014-2019″ evaluates the total private line market and segments it by local and long distance private line service revenue, wholesale and retail private line revenue, revenue by type of carrier, revenue by T1, T3 or OC-n circuit class, as well as the number of T1, T3, and OC-n private lines sold. Estimates of wavelength revenues are also provided.

DURANGO, Colo., Sept. 16, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — While business spending on all telecommunications services is expected to grow in low single-digit percentages over the next five years, global spending on managed services is expected to grow at an annual compounded rate of almost 12 percent, according to the latest market study from Insight Research.

The market research report notes that in this period of sputtering economic growth and reduced spending on basic telecommunications and IT services, many enterprises will find that purchasing managed services is a cost-effective alternative to increasing internal staffing. The study also predicts that US revenues associated with the managed services market will increase from nearly $36 billion in 2014 to $53 billion in 2018.

“While we are anticipating that the rate of spending globally will outpace domestic spending on Managed Services by a few percentage point over the next five years, the big news is the considerable variability in growth among the segments we’ve tracked,” says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight Research. “For example, managing Mobility services for U.S. business is expected to grow at a rate in excess of 17 percent over the next five years, and this is comparable to the growth in spending we expect to see in Asia-Pacific and in Europe. However, other segments, including Infrastructure and Data Center management, will be not nearly as robust,” concludes Rosenberg.

DURANGO, Colo., May 29, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Overall U.S. spending on telecommunications is expected to increase nearly two percent from $422 billion this year to $456 billion in 2019, though such modest growth masks the cavernous disparities between business versus consumer outlays across more than 19 different hardware, software, and service segments tracked in this new market research study from The Insight Research Corporation.

For example, in terms of hardware, and more specifically cell phones, business purchasing will grow nearly 16 percent over the forecast period while consumers spending on this type of hardware will decline at an even faster rate. Another example, taken from the realm of mobile device applications software sales, posits business spending will grow at a 20 percent rate over our forecast period, while consumer spending will grow only in the mid-single digits.

For example, connectivity spending by business versus consumer is further divided into cellular voice; cellular data; cellular data cards; cellular routers and gateways; wireline voice, wireline WANs; DSL high-speed Internet connectivity; fiber high-speed Internet connectivity; and cable high-speed Internet connectivity. As another example, within the broad area of managed services, spending by business versus consumer is further segmented into M2M services; unified communications services; and managed hosting and co-location services.

“The very wide disparities in projected spending growth that we found when looking at consumer and business buying trends across more than 19 different telecommunications categories came as quite a shock,” says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight Research. “Our research left little doubt in our minds that the carriers, their software developers, and their equipment suppliers are going to put ever greater amounts of their development budgets into areas that meet the needs of businesses,” Rosenberg concluded.

While the $500 billion US telecommunications service market will continue to grow over the next few years, Insight Research forecasts that voice revenues – wireline and wireless – will decline at a 4.8 percent annual rate as consumers continue to “cut cords” and businesses migrate to VoIP platforms.

Billions of revenue dollars are at stake for incumbent voice service providers, as they seek to preserve customers through the transition to VoIP and 4G LTE wireless services.

Insight Research’s market analysis study, “US Wireless & Wireline Voice: Threats and Opportunities, 2013-2018″ provides a detailed look at the trends in voice communications, including the migration to VoIP and wireless services, the impact of substitute over the top (OTT) applications, machine to machine (M2M) applications, and the cannibalization of the $11 Billion text messaging business. As residential and business customers migrate to these new services and applications it is critical for incumbent service providers to retain these customers, who are the same users that are seeking the most advanced data and video services.

“Retaining customers will require innovations centered around service bundles and lower pricing, while maintaining profitably will be challenging for providers as customers flee to alternative communication mediums – such as social networking,” says Fran Caulfield, Research Director at Insight Research. “Service providers can no longer rely on mature technologies, such as text messaging, to offset declines in voice revenues, while the current handset subsidy model is not sustainable,” Caulfield concluded.

In the U.S., home disconnections and lower business spending contributed to wireline revenue declines at AT&T, Verizon, and CenturyLink, while competition drove slower growth in wireless service revenues at Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T.

Continued softness in European economies will suppress wireline and wireless spending over the next two years, and even in Asia and Latin America, slower economic growth will reduce telecommunications spending from previous forecasts.

According to the new industry market study, telecommunications services revenue worldwide will grow from $2.1 trillion in 2014 to $2.4 trillion in 2019 at a combined average growth rate of 2.1 percent.

“The 2014 Telecommunications Industry Review: An Anthology of Market Facts and Forecasts” notes that wireless subscriber growth compounded with rising smartphone and tablet traffic will raise global wireless revenues by 17 percent from current levels. Wireline revenues will rise only four percent as voice calls decline and users switch to mobile solutions. Despite these modest gains, some sectors, such as Ethernet, cloud, and mobility solutions, will show double-digit annual revenue growth, and data traffic in these sectors will double every two years.

“Consumer demand for the latest wireless devices and higher bandwidth are driving telecommunications services growth, while the shift to cloud-based solutions is enriching the value of the network. A large percentage of business activity now depends on these mobile devices and network applications for everything from electronic commerce to navigation to customer service,” says Fran Caulfield, Research Director for Insight.

“Despite the modest rise in revenues, we see some important signals of growth, such as in the U.S., where another 100 million mobile subscriptions will be added by the end of the period,” Caulfield concluded.

In addition to regional and service forecasts, the report provides an assessment of the key drivers of this growth, including industry trends, network infrastructure and access technologies, future services, OSS/BSS and capex spending, and enterprise telecom markets.

According to a new market research study from The Insight Research Corporation, U.S. Cable MSOs are on track this year to reach $8.8 billion in annual revenues providing telecommunications services to small and medium-size businesses, despite competition from entrenched telco providers, who have owned this segment for the past thirty years.

Insight Research’s market analysis study, “Cable TV Operators, Telecom Services, and the Push into the Enterprise, 2013-2018″ provides an optimistic view for Cable Providers, who have been touting the Business Services market as a profitable alternative to their mature residential video business. Next to Wireless Services, Business Services is the second largest segment in the $500 billion U.S. telecommunications landscape. Cable Operators have demonstrated double-digit revenue growth in Business Services over the past few years, while their market share is approaching ten percent.

“Cable companies continue to demonstrate strength in leveraging their existing HFC networks and in providing new business services, such as mobile backhaul, WiFi access, and Ethernet services,” says Fran Caulfield, Research Director at Insight Research.

“Our research also shows that they continue to take market share from the entrenched Telco Providers, who have yet to become aggressive with pricing, investment, and quality in defending their market position,” Caulfield concluded.

Ethernet metro area and wide area services are ubiquitous, available from all major data service providers, including cable/MSOs, who are building a formidable base around Ethernet services in the small to mid-sized business market. Industry revenue is expected to grow from nearly $5.5 billion in 2013 to over $13 billion by 2018.

According to Insight Research’s market analysis study, “US Carriers and Ethernet Services, 2013-2018,” Ethernet’s popularity is driven by its ability to meet growing bandwidth demands at lower cost and with greater flexibility than legacy TDM-based services. The large-scale migration of wireless backhaul cell sites from TDM to Ethernet continues to be a major factor in the next five years, as carriers complete their 4G LTE deployments.

“Ethernet services in the small to mid-sized business market is the fastest growing segment of this market, while wireless backhaul still commands the top segment,” says Fran Caulfield, Director of Research at Insight.

“Over the five year forecast period we project a compounded annual revenue growth rate of 19 percent, with the highest growth levels in the next two years,” Caulfield concluded.

The study examines Ethernet market spending and usage patterns by topology (E-line, E-LAN, and access), regional domain (metro, wide area, and access), retail/wholesale, and various bandwidth levels. In addition, the report covers the impact industry standards, such as MEF CE2.0, have on the market, as wells as carriers increased reliance on interoperability with other service providers.
